Sewing for my Granddaughter
When my girls were little, I thought I would sew lots of cute clothes for them. But I had great sources for wonderful hand-me-downs so I only remember sewing two or three dresses apiece. Now I have a granddaughter and the sewing bug has bitten me once again. A friend gave me some lengths of adorable fabric she had left from when her girls were younger, as well as some suitable patterns.
Oddly enough, this pattern calls for two pockets on the back (like jeans, I guess) and one bib pocket on the front. The front pocket was supposed to be more rectangular with rounded corners. I didn't like the way it turned out, so I followed my husband's suggestion and made another like the back pockets to put on the front. I definitely prefer it.
@scribblingramma the dress looks so pretty, great job.
Thank you! That ruffle was quite a bother, but turned out well (as long as you don't look too closely).
@scribblingramma no one would know the flaws if you do not point them out, I am the same way. When someone tells me nice job on something, I point out the flaws or mistakes I made. I have no clue why we are compelled to do this while some people are good with not saying anything. In my eyes the little dress is flawless, and you did a perfect job with it.
That's very kind of you!!
